用户:Hoyalang/Sandbox/评估保证等级

评估保证等级(英语:Evaluation Assurance Level,简称:EAL)是一个依循ISO/IEC 15408共同准则(Common Criteria)的安全规范,主要是用来评估资讯产品的安全性、功能性及验证时要遵循的共同标准,全部有7个等级,分别为EAL1到EAL7,越高代表越安全。验证内容包涵了产品开发的全部过程由初期的产品设计、中期的生产到最后的交付到使用者手中并顺利运作。验证EAL的等级是依据申请者所需要的产品安全功能所需等级,可以证明申请者产制资讯产品可达到的功能等级。

  • 功能检测

只检测一个产品最基础的功能,不包含任何安全性的评估,不保证安全性。EAL1验证等级,只表示这个产品能够开机、执行,不涉及任何安全性议题。 EAL1 is applicable where some confidence in correct operation is required, but the threats to security are not viewed as serious. It will be of value where independent assurance is required to support the contention that due care has been exercised with respect to the protection of personal or similar information. EAL1 provides an evaluation of the TOE (Target of Evaluation) as made available to the customer, including independent testing against a specification, and an examination of the guidance documentation provided. It is intended that an EAL1 evaluation could be successfully conducted without assistance from the developer of the TOE, and for minimal cost. An evaluation at this level should provide evidence that the TOE functions in a manner consistent with its documentation, and that it provides useful protection against identified threats.

  • 结构性测试及检查

EAL 2安全程度比EAL1高,EAL2才开始会作安全上的检测。会用宽松的标准作适当的源代码检查,但严谨程度低于EAL 3。 EAL2 requires the cooperation of the developer in terms of the delivery of design information and test results, but should not demand more effort on the part of the developer than is consistent with good commercial practice. As such it should not require a substantially increased investment of cost or time. EAL2 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a low to moderate level of independently assured security in the absence of ready availability of the complete development record. Such a situation may arise when securing legacy systems.

  • 系统化测试及检查

EAL 3更严格检查程式码,但不需要重新翻修程式,也不会打断整个开发流程。EAL 3不像EAL 4必须评估漏洞修补的成本,所以EAL3还是采用比EAL 4宽松的安全检测标准。 EAL3 permits a conscientious developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering at the design stage without substantial alteration of existing sound development practices. EAL3 is applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a moderate level of independently assured security, and require a thorough investigation of the TOE and its development without substantial re-engineering.

  • 系统化设计、测试及审查

EAL 4是最常见的安全性验证标准,例如Windows 2000、NetWare等都取得EAL4以上的认证。只有到EAL4时,大家才会接受这个验证,能有效确保系统的安全性,而供应商也会将漏洞修补包含在安全性检测基本项目中。 EAL4 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering based on good commercial development practices which, though rigorous, do not require substantial specialist knowledge, skills, and other resources. EAL4 is the highest level at which it is likely to be economically feasible to retrofit to an existing product line. EAL4 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a moderate to high level of independently assured security in conventional commodity TOEs and are prepared to incur additional security-specific engineering costs.

Commercial operating systems that provide conventional, user-based security features are typically evaluated at EAL4. Examples of such operating systems are AIX,[1] HP-UX,[1] FreeBSD, Oracle Linux, Novell NetWare, Solaris,[1] SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9,[1][2] SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10,[3] Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5,[4][5] Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 2003,[1][6] Windows XP,[1][6] Windows Vista,[7][8] Windows 7,[1][9] Windows Server 2008 R2,[1][9] z/OS version 2.1 and z/VM version 6.3.[1]

Operating systems that provide multilevel security are evaluated at a minimum of EAL4. Examples include Trusted Solaris, Solaris 10 Release 11/06 Trusted Extensions,[10] an early version of the XTS-400, and VMware ESXi version 3.0.2,[11] 3.5, 4.0 and 5.0 (EAL 4+).

  • 半正规化测试及检查

EAL 5是一个比EAL 4要求更周延的的安全验证等级,必须经过非常严格的验证流程,花费的时间、成本都比EAL 4还高。但不见得需要取得EAL 5验证。 EAL5 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from security engineering based upon rigorous commercial development practices supported by moderate application of specialist security engineering techniques. Such a TOE will probably be designed and developed with the intent of achieving EAL5 assurance. It is likely that the additional costs attributable to the EAL5 requirements, relative to rigorous development without the application of specialized techniques, will not be large. EAL5 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a high level of independently assured security in a planned development and require a rigorous development approach without incurring unreasonable costs attributable to specialist security engineering techniques.

Numerous smart card devices have been evaluated at EAL5, as have multilevel secure devices such as the Tenix Interactive Link. XTS-400 (STOP 6) is a general-purpose operating system which has been evaluated at EAL5 augmented.

  • 半正规化查证、设计及测试

EAL 6验证如同是针对客户提出某些高风险、特殊的安全要求,不惜耗费时间、金钱,一定要达到客户的安全性要求。要取得EAL6的验证。安全是EAL 6的基本要求,这意味着,整个系统的开发都必须奠基在安全的要求上。 EAL6 permits developers to gain high assurance from application of security engineering techniques to a rigorous development environment in order to produce a premium TOE for protecting high value assets against significant risks. EAL6 is therefore applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in high risk situations where the value of the protected assets justifies the additional costs.

Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY-178B RTOS has been certified to EAL6 augmented.[1]

  • 正规化查证、设计及测试

EAL 7只有用于极度高度风险的系统,对系统的要求不只是能用而已,还必须具有极度高度的风险性要求。金钱和时间花费难以想像,只会用在具有特殊安全功能的特定系统中。 EAL7 is applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in extremely high risk situations and/or where the high value of the assets justifies the higher costs.

Practical application of EAL7 is currently limited to TOEs with tightly focused security functionality that is amenable to extensive formal analysis. The Tenix Interactive Link Data Diode Device and the Fox-IT Fox Data Diode (one-way data communications device) claimed to have been evaluated at EAL7 augmented (EAL7+).[13][14]

受保证等级的影响

编辑

Technically speaking, a higher EAL means nothing more, or less, than that the evaluation completed a more stringent set of quality assurance requirements. It is often assumed that a system that achieves a higher EAL will provide its security features more reliably (and the required third-party analysis and testing performed by security experts is reasonable evidence in this direction), but there is little or no published evidence to support that assumption.

收费制度的冲击

编辑

In 2006, the US Government Accountability Office published a report on Common Criteria evaluations that summarized a range of costs and schedules reported for evaluations performed at levels EAL2 through EAL4.

 
Range of completion times and costs for Common Criteria evaluations at EAL2 through EAL4.

In the mid to late 1990s, vendors reported spending US$1 million and even US$2.5 million on evaluations comparable to EAL4. There have been no published reports of the cost of the various Microsoft Windows security evaluations.

EAL扩充来源

编辑

In some cases, the evaluation may be augmented to include assurance requirements beyond the minimum required for a particular EAL. Officially this is indicated by following the EAL number with the word augmented and usually with a list of codes to indicate the additional requirements. As shorthand, vendors will often simply add a "plus" sign (as in EAL4+) to indicate the augmented requirements.

EAL标章

编辑

The Common Criteria standards denote EALs as shown in this article: the prefix "EAL" concatenated with a digit 1 through 7 (Examples: EAL1, EAL3, EAL5). In practice, some countries place a space between the prefix and the digit (EAL 1, EAL 3, EAL 5). The use of a plus sign to indicate augmentation is an informal shorthand used by product vendors (EAL4+ or EAL 4+).
